Some General Notions of Stochastic Orderings for Weighted Reliability and Uncertainty Measures with Applications
نویسنده
چکیده
In this note, stochastic comparisons of reliability measures and related functions are presented. Inequalities for uncertainty of a residual life distribution and certain modified cross-entropy or discrimination information measures under weighted models are established. Comparisons of the expected uncertainty about the remaining lifetime of a component for weighted conditional distributions and unweighted conditional distributions are presented.

Hessian Stochastic Ordering in the Family of multivariate Generalized Hyperbolic Distributions and its Applications
In this paper, random vectors following the multivariate generalized hyperbolic (GH) distribution are compared using the hessian stochastic order. This family includes the classes of symmetric and asymmetric distributions by which different behaviors of kurtosis in skewed and heavy tail data can be captured. By considering some closed convex cones and their duals, we derive some necessary and s...
متن کاملA Note on Probability Weighted Moment Inequalities for Reliability Measures
Weighted distributions in general and length-biased distributions in particular are very useful and convenient for the analysis of lifetime data. These distributions occur naturally for some sampling plans in reliability, ecology, biometry and survival analysis. In this note an increasing failure rate property for lifetime distributions is used to define a natural ordering of the weighted relia...
متن کاملSome Results on Equilibrium Distributions
The equilibrium distributions have many applications in reliability theory, stochastic orderings and random processes. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the equilibrium distributions and presents some results related to this issue. Some results are based on order statistics. In this paper, the generalized Pareto distributions are also analyzed and some basic relationships between t...
متن کاملSome New Results on Stochastic Orderings between Generalized Order Statistics
In this paper we specify the conditions on the parameters of pairs of gOS’s under which the corresponding generalized order statistics are ordered according to usual stochastic ordering, hazard rate ordering, likelihood ratio ordering and dispersive ordering. We consider this problem in one-sample as well as two-sample problems. We show that some of the results obtained by Franco et al. ...
متن کاملPreservation of Stochastic Orderings of Interdependent Series and Parallel Systems by Componentwise Switching to Exponentiated Models
This paper discusses the preservation of some stochastic orders between two interdependent series and parallel systems when the survival and distribution functions of all components switch to the exponentiated model. For the series systems, the likelihood ratio, hazard rate, usual, aging faster, aging intensity, convex transform, star, superadditive and dispersive orderings, and for the paralle...
